The Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) has called off its 9-month-old strike.
Bidoun Ogunyemi, ASUU national president, broke the news on Wednesday during a briefing of the union in Abuja.
He also disclosed that the development followed consultations with its National Executive Council (NEC).
The union embarked on an indefinite strike in March over non-implementation of agreements and resolutions the federal government reached with it in 2009.
ASUU had also opposed the adoption of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) while presenting its University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) as alternative payroll software.
Reports had earlier examined how the incessant industrial actions embarked upon by the union since 1999 have forced students out of school for over four years.
